Instruction Card for Teacher Thank You Gift

The card shown (right) is the format I used to make the instruction cards for the Teacher's Movie Night gift box.

See the "Saying Thank You" Blog for an explanation of this gift idea.

Print the following instructions on a card of small piece of paper mounted to the front of the popcorn gift bag. Be sure to write a personal thank you note to go with it.


  1. Pin “Best Teacher” ribbon on shirt before going to video store. Shamelessly solicit compliments and admiration from video store staff.
  2. Use gift card to rent movie with actual plot, good dialogue, and total absence of cartoon characters.
  3. Pop popcorn and place in popcorn box. Feel free to wipe buttery hands on sweat pants without fear of “setting bad example.”
  4. Eat all candy in box. Do not share. If anyone approaches candy, grab box greedily and yell: “mine!” like an ill-mannered 3-year-old.
  5. Repeat as necessary or until gift card runs out of credits.
